Clinics

ARRRRRRRGH...
fianlly got a few minutes of free time for the comp....

since clinics starrted... i am soooooooooooo occupied.. everyday 7-7
then have to read up for the next day...
not that i'm complaining.. its pretty interesting to be able to see patients and real signs and symptoms and all.. just that it takes up sooo much time!!!
finshed one posting in medicine.. had end of posting today.. thats why i have some free time.. coz my attendence order was in the front...
terrible time... didn't do well at all inspite of having been reading up the night before..
conclusion... clinical skill acquired does not equal amount of time spent studying,..

anyway... decided today that its not worth the whole thing... i'm gonna give myself some time...
especially to email my friends and call them up....
really really miss home a lot..

having a few days of holidays coming up.. deepavali.. or they call it diwali here..
the great thing about celebrating it here in india is.. other than india being the native place of this event, is that there is no ban on crackers!!
whole arsenals of explosive sticks are lining up on the streets!
now we can do something about those monkeys who visit us in hostel at regular intervals...

trouble trouble trouble

lately there has been trouble in hostel...
3 of my blockmates and close friends have run into relationship troubles...

seeing them in such a sorry state is terrible.. helpless to do anything...

one of them was someone i look up to since 1st year.
he told me about the power of love...
i saw his fidelity... he doesn't flirt with other girls
i saw his sincerity... he doesn't smoke or drink to keep himself worthy for his girlfriend
but a broken relationship results in a broken man
he is drunk for 3 days and started smoking.
he is depressed.
i cannot help him...
how shallow one's foundation is when it is based on another human...

May God help us all... to keep the anchor within the veil

Pseudo exams

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH
i died today//...

actually, is quite an impressive feat.. since ive survived for almost a week...
one might have thought i would've died earlier...

i cannot remember one instance in my life where i have studied so much in so little time...
i guess there is a first time to everything..
i remember during sec 5 spm exams, i studied as much as possible but still slept at 10pm every night...
i had the "i dun care" spirit then...

now for the first time in 21 years... i accomplished a feat of sleeping 3.5 hours a day for a consecutive of 5 days.. and no less than 10 hours of studying each...
so far so good..

wonder if i'll be able to keep it up until next week....
then emulate it again during university exams...

:P... mati...

missing home

i'm missing home all over again....
haiz...
going home is like sensitizing urself towards it...
i thought i've got over it pretty ok in since Sep... but going home seems to make me go through all the emotions again...
wonder if its the same with love...?

can i overcome all this without going through the motions..?

exams coming up... gotta focus!!

A Long Wait

Dunno how to explain how it feels...
every time i sit in the airport waiting for my flight...
i'm doing this more and more often it feels...

glad that in malaysia there's wifi... but even when online, dunno what i'm supposed to do with the time...

sometimes its just like this...
although we know we have a lot to do...
and many things to accomplish..
but we dunno how to do it utilizing our free moments...

time just slips past like this....
my flight gate is open...
maybe till another empty window in life...

March 22

Wonder why,
people put so much emphasis on a single day...
its not like new year, where it is the start of a cycle of plans and dreams
not like independence, or labour or father's day or mothers day to commemorate wonderful people who put in wonderful work for the society..

yet when it comes....
there is anticipation, there is excitement, there is a funny feeling inside..

always remember a friend who told me..
birthdays should be celebrated with your mum..
afterall, its the day when she suffered the most for you and i..

but then...
i'm not so philosophical
at least i try not to think too much..
for me
birthday is just

another day of life
another day to share with people who matter the most
another day of enjoyment
another day to witness
another day of realising our dreams

Happy birthday to me...
but i recently found not 1 but 2 friends who share the common date on the Julian calender...
Happy birthday to you too

New Year cum Valentine...

Ist New year away frm home...

miss the noises, miss the smell, miss the food... and of course, the shiny red packets filled with well wishes and more importantly...

The few malaysians here suddenly planned to give a dinner for their indian friends... chinese style!!

wonder what we can cooked up without the usual "zai liao" & tofu so often used for veg......

Valentines day

Same old, same old.... no valentines to send, no dates to attend... luckily its CNY, and that makes it less lonely??

To all others who are away from home... u r not alone!!

To all enjoying family company... have fun ler... n dun rub it in on me..

:)

Opened up the cranium in dissection today... the "noodles" were rotton
its almost as tough as opening the durian...... smells just as bad too!!

Went to low cost effective care clinic today, was shown how to examine patients with heart problems...
its amazing how much of the diagnosis we can know by listening thru the stet...
Wonder if listening can solve other "heart" problems as well??

Dreams

Every boy once dreamed to be a soldier at some point of time... He was no exception...
perhaps he was not old enough, or not strong enough, or not smart enough, or not rough enough; whichever the case, when the king called for an army, he had to see his brothers off while he stayed at home...
Not that he didn't like it at home. He enjoyed playing on the green hills and rolling on the fields and swimming in the river. He always did those when he took his father's sheep out for grazing. But whenever he watched the clouds drift by, David would relive his dream of fighting mighty battles among the lines of Israel, the Lord's Own army!

Its amazing to see where one's dream will lead him... lets watch David...

He went to the battlefield to send a lunchbox for his brothers. That's when he heard someone who openly defied the troops of Israel, and their God.
Imagine how angry one would be, to have something one looked up to and dreamed about and admired for all his life suddenly mocked and derided and publicly scorned.
Well, David's not the kind who would be satisfied just playing sitting ducks!
He started to talk...

Well, I guess one of the first things one should do to reach one's dreams is to share it. Talk about it, show it to others that you want to do it.

Pretty soon,David caught the attention and got an opportunity. King Saul asked for a personal interview.
David gave a wonderful presentation and got the break he wanted.
Off to the field you go!

Well, I don't think I need to say that we should grab the opportunities that is given at hand and make the most of our dreams...

Well, he did it! He took the giant down and when others saw that his dream worked, they all jumped in and had a share...
Then again, SOME ONE had a bigger dream for him... a dream that had a "king" ring to it......

Well, I guess accomplishing dreams is a wonderful thing. But then, allowing God to accomplish His dream in us brings it to a whole new level.
His dreams for us is always bigger than we think.
For now I'm content to dream to be a soldier for Him, winning small victories in life...
who knows what God has in store for me??... what about you??
just be ready to run when king Saul comes after you!!

感激月亮,否定太陽

Got this as a forwarded message...

A wonderful story for a new year. Sry to those who can't read chinese, traditional chinese for that matter...

主題：感激月亮,否定太陽

"被照顧到無微不至的人反而不會感恩，
因為當白天夠亮，太陽就是多餘的> > "。

有一則猶太故事說，有一天，有人問一位老先生，
太陽和月亮哪個比較重要。
那位老先生想了半天，
回答道：「是月亮，月亮比較重要。」
為什麼呢？
「因為月亮是在夜晚發光，
那是我們最需要光亮的時候，
而白天已經夠亮了，
太陽卻在那時候照耀。」
你或許會笑這位老先生糊塗，
但你不覺得很多人也是這樣嗎？
每天照顧你的人，你從不覺得有什麼，
若是陌生人這樣對你，你就認為他人真好；
你的父母、妻子或先生一直付出，
你總覺得理所當然，甚至還有得嫌；
一旦外人為你做出類似行為，
你就受寵若驚，你就會很感激。
這不是跟「感激月亮，否定太陽」一樣糊塗嗎？

有個女孩跟媽媽大吵了一架，氣得奪門而出，
決定再也不要回到這個討厭的家了!
一整天，她都在外面閒逛，
肚子餓得咕嚕咕嚕叫，
但偏偏又沒帶零用錢出來，
可又拉不下臉回家吃飯。
一直到了晚上，她來到一家麵攤旁，
聞到了陣陣的香味，真是好想吃一碗，
但身上又沒帶錢只能不住的吞口水。
忽然，老闆親切的問：「小姐，妳要不要吃麵啊？」
她不好意思的回答：「嗯！可是……我沒有帶錢……」
老闆聽了大笑：「哈哈，沒關係，今天就算老闆請客吧！」
女孩簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵，她坐下來。
不一會兒，麵來了，她吃得津津有味，
並說：「老闆，你人真好！」
老闆說：{哦？怎麼啦？}
女孩接著回答：「對啊！我們素不相識，你卻對我
那麼好，不像我媽，
根本不了解我的需要和想法，真氣人呢！」
老闆又笑了：「哈，小姐，我才不過給妳一碗麵而已，
妳就這麼感激我，
那麼妳媽媽幫妳煮了二十幾年的飯，
妳不是更應該感激她嗎？」
被老闆這麼一講，女孩頓時有如大夢初醒，
眼淚瞬間奪眶而出！
顧不得還剩下的半碗麵，立刻飛奔回家。
才到家門前的巷口，就遠遠的看到媽媽，
焦急的在門口四處張望，
她的心立刻揪在一起！
有一千句、一萬句的對不起想對媽媽說。
還沒來得及開口，只見媽媽已迎了上前：
「唉呦！妳一整天跑去那裡了啊？
嚇死我了！來，進來把手洗一洗，吃晚飯了。」
這天晚上，這個女孩才深刻體會到媽媽對她的愛。

太陽一直都在，人就忘了它給的光亮，當親人一直都在，
人就會忘了他們給的溫暖；
一個被照顧到無微不至的人
反而不會去感恩，
因為白天已經夠亮了，太陽不是多餘的嗎？
